grammar bullying

                   Recently I have been seeing posts on the internet about grammar and spelling that both educate and pock fun at common mistakes.  Here I am posting my reaction to one;   I see these kinds of posts often. Some people can not even read, some peoples minds work differently than yours. I see spelling and grammar pet peeves as a form of bulling. live and let live, write like s**t for all I care but let your hearts out! make mistakes, be real, be yourself and lets all stop living in fear of how we look, how we talk, or even how we write. People are fragile, we just want to be accepted and loved, some depressed teenagers kill themselves before instead of admitting what is going on for them. Do you really want to send a message out to the world that this is what matters to you? I bet when you look in your heart it really doesn't. blessings to all.

Lucky for the cold.

I heard someone call a friend who was away, in some tropical spot, for the cold blast we just had "lucky" and I was thinking I feel lucky to be here, to experience it with my community. Its like a snow day, harsh weather brings people together. But now I am beyond that, I pity the people that were away, they don't get to feel the rush, the thrill of 15 degrees F. The glorious feeling of rebirth contentment and freedom that comes after the cold. The joy of going outside NOT bundled to the hilt, of taking your hat off and not having your ears instantly freeze! Need to get out change to put in a parking meter? It's easy now, no danger of fingers freezing at all! the wonder of just taking a deep breath of "warm" air. Love to the cold and the sun and to all. 

The trees love us...

I had a really beautiful moment yesterday in yoga when I remembered a tree I stepped over almost every day last year and I realized I loved that tree. I owe my life to trees... I sit here in my house with wood under my feet, wood supporting the whole structure of my shelter. I am a creature of the trees, without them I would not be here. Blessings to all, may you know and love a tree.
